I recently started using lighttpd + with PHP using Fast-CGI on a server hosting 14 blogs powered by WordPress, the server works great and this change reduced server load in about 50% which is nice for us, considering some of our blogs have a very high visitor traffic.
Our only problem so far is that since we switched to lighttpd the PHP's mail() function is just not working. I have compiled and re-compiled PHP and Lighttpd without any effects. I have a test site still working with Apache and PHP scripts can send mail without problems.
I've searched forums and Google for some kind of answer but none whatsoever maybe someone can give me pointers on how to solve this. Thanks a lot!!
Server details:
Lighttpd version: 1.4.15
PHP version: 4.4.4
Kernel: 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp
Server has cPanel/WHM installed
I have just changed servers and uploaded a mail() script which was working on my previous config but does not work on the new server config. What is stopping the emails from being delivered, is there something new in WHM that I need to do?
Here are my WHM and cPanel details:
WHM 11.11.0 cPanel 11.15.0-R18264 REDHAT 4 i686 on standard - WHM X v3.1.0
Code: Gid 32157 is not permitted to relay mail, or has directly called /usr/sbin/exim instead of /usr/sbin/sendmail.
3. Fowarders working only on internal accounts e-mail fowarder@mydomain.com --> email@mydomain.com - working fowarder@mydomain.com --> my-emiail123@mail.pl - not working
This is VPS cPanel (OpenVZ) on my dedicated server.
We have a MS Window server 2003 with SP2, currently there is a website running, the webiste is desgined by using asp.net 2.0 c#.
We reinstalled the window server 2003 last week, and we found the email functions not working any more(users in the website can't receive email each other).
I have spent days and trying to figure out, but no luck, I have tried to reset the IIS settings, SMTP Virtual settings, and add/remove windows componets settings...
I am starting to webhosting company in it I have included a package will be free and add supported and also I want to disable some functions like mail() ..........I mean I want to disable SMTP services anyone have idea how can I do that.
I just re-installed PHP4, Apache, and MySQL and now the "mail" function in PHP will not work. Is there a way to correct this? Is there some configuration value in Apache or PHP I must change?
I have mixed feelings on the mail() function in php. I've seen it send out amazing numbers of emails and yet I keep reading that it is prone to problems. I'm wondering if someone can put an approximation on what you could/would send out in say 60 seconds. I know that there are tonnes of variables, so i'll try and remove a few:
- server hardware is typical of a cpanel/WHM shared hosting environment - running apache/linux - email is say 20kb HTML format - mail is sent in a php script loop, one by one; alternatively, mail() could be called in clusters of x emails - like send 5 emails at once - there are 400 recipients
I used the mail function in php to send mails to my 25000 members in a loop..
After using it my server has gone very slow.. Load has increased a lot from 2 to around 20.. Major load is taken by sql and then httpd (both have increased)..
I had restarted mysql and httpd.. even reinstalled apache but no help..
But i see in the mail logs that from address is being overwritten using the default user for the domain. Is there anyway to configure plesk or postfix to respect those headers?
I'm experiencing some issue with the php function mail(). No mails can get out and no errors from php. Is there any menu where we can parameter this php function ? Do I need to check up some services ?
Outgoing mail control functions properly for domains, but it does not count or limit subdomains.
For example, if you have a subdomain like: sub.domain.tld
And an email account on that subdomain, like: info@sub.domain.tld
Then outgoing mail limits are not applied to that subscription/domain/mail account. You are able to send more emails than the limit.
Also, if you go to: -> Tools and Settings -> Outgoing mail control
And try to see statistics for that subscription/domain/mail account, it shows that there are not sent emails, even if you have sent emails. Of course I checked it many hours after sending, or even the next days.
I run a small website on a dedicated unmanged server with cpanel. About a month ago,i stopped getting the daily mails from addresses that are located on the server...
Also,when I attempted to send mail to one of these addresses I never received it...
Its a RHEL 3 server with cpanel,is there anything I can do to see where the problem is?
